The latest amusing electoral intervention by James Comey? As I wrote on the very day the FBI Director "re-opened" the Hillary investigation: I suppose if you've run one sham investigation there's no harm in running a second. And so it proved. ~Meanwhile, longtime Clinton aide Doug Band says Chelsea used Clinton Foundation money to pay for her wedding. Charity begins at home, and a home as lavish as Chelsea's needs a lot of charity. Oddly, the IRS' investigations into the legitimacy of 501(c)3 ...

Steyn's Song of the Week
Following our presidential edition of Mark at the Movies, this week's Song of the Week is the most senior political contribution to the American Songbook, and an enduring ballad across the decades. You can even find it in novels:

Mark at the Movies
On this weekend before the election, our movie and music features are devoted to the only actor to wind up on a winning presidential ticket - and (tomorrow) the only winning president ticket to write a hit song. Both tickets were, by the way, Republican. (For the other side of the aisle, see this piece on Hollywood's Hillaryphobia.) First the movies: If I recall correctly the Left's dismissal of Ronald Reagan back in the Eighties, it's that he was a third-rate B-movie ham of no consequence and ...

Seasons of Steyn
Tonight is All Hallows' Eve. To mark the occasion, we have a truly horrific sight: the Halloweiner. Almost as scary to at least a few New Yorkers must have been this billboard of me and fellow CRTV hosts Michelle Malkin and Mark Levin looming over Times Square today...
